He's probably not that into you, but then again maybe he doesn't know you.

Don't make yourself pushy with him, but try to be friends. Sometimes, however, not everyone you like will like you back.

Your best bet is to try to be friends with him first and see if you guys are compatable.

Good luck!

Q: I'm almost completely HTML illiterate. Please help me? What's a good network to use? How do I work with graphics?

I'm not sure what type of website you want to build, but i would definately consider starting with freewebs or a free host that has a building helper tool.

Q: I have a step brother that is 5 and we see him alot since incidentally we live next door to my dad and step mom (weird i no...) and every time he sees my mom pull in the drive way he shouts her name and only wants her and ignors me. same with if he is playing with my brother he only wants him. I dont know if he doesnt like me or what? What can i do so he will want me instead?

doesn't he talk to you? I'm sure he just wants to play with your other family members too. but all you have to do is show him alot of love and whenever you see him give him snacks.

Q: Hey.. ok so my brother is on a hockey team and his team made it to the state finals. This is there third year in a row. My friend also asked my if i wanted to go see the jonas brothers the same night. I told he i could go but, haven't given her the money yet. Also there is a chance that the hockey team may not make it to the finals, they still haven't won the semi finals. My friend though, wants to know if i still want to go to the concert though.. What should i do.. Go to the concert, or my brothers state final game??

Explain to your brother, and find out if he would care if you're there or not. If not, deff go and make it up to your brother if they do mke it. If you think he would mind, don't go. stay with him...but this is a 'guess guess' situation since you're not really sure.

You can also buy the ticket and have it on standstill, incase of them winning you can sell it.

Q: I really like the way that Miley Cyrus has her hair in this picture. My hair is about medium length, about, 2 inches below my shoulders. I'm growing it out, and I want it to look like this. So, when I get it cut to this stlye, what all would I have to ask for to get the CUT STYLE just like this? I want my bangs to look like it too. So, would all I have to ask for are alot of long layers?

Thanks so much for your help!

not all people look good with straight long hair, so if you decide to cut it like that, dont be pissed if you look different.

It looks like a normal v -cut with about 2 inch layers. Not many layers might i add, about 3 or 4 sets. She deff doesn't have bangs so something long past the ears.

Carry the picture with you.

Q: im starting to make videos on post them.but i want to put pictures in them.like if i want to show the viewer something it will show a picture and then go on with the rest of the movie

What type of editor, if any, do you use?
If you use Windows Movie maker, you can split the video, insert the picture and voila. I don't really make 'professional' videos, so i wouldn't know for any other editor. But if you want to use Windows Movie Maker, it's free and on most normal windows computers.
have fun!

Q: 16-f

ok well my chest is starting too break out and idk why cuz i wash it regularly and all that stuff and its really sick looking and ticking me off.

what can i do?

Go to a doctor. Dermatologist would be your best bet. You could try your local drug store and ask for some pills to get rid of them. There's also this thing called clearpores and they have a deep clensing body wash.
And change your diet and drink lots of water. Basically everything you would do if you had zits...just don't pop them please!

Q: I can't get a boyfriend. Well, I can. I get hit on almost every day. But no one seems good enough. And there's no one that I like. I have to resort to making up fake boyfriends just so people won't think I'm a Lesbian. Right now, I'm in high school. So I was just wondering, how important is it to have a boyfriend in high school? Is it better to wait until college to look for someone? Or am I completely weird and is finding the right guy hopeless?

I actually don't think it's that bad not to have a bf in high school. Don't make up boyfriends...cause they'll think you're desperate if they ever find out. You can have some great guy friends..and I date one of them if you want. The point is no one will be that 'great' and 'perfect' till you find your 'one'..which mite be a while. Jus...be out there!

Q: I'm bad at showing that I like someone. Whenever I see the guy that I like, I act cold towards him and I'll give him an attitude. After I do that, I'm thinking why did I do that? What do you think?

The same thing happens to me and then the guy thinks I'm either SHY or...anti-social. I think (my theory) is that we know we show the feelings and we don't want to....so we try to act like we hate the person so they won't think we like them. That's what i think. You need to loosen up...and think about it this way: 'If he knows you like him, he'll prob show some interest that he has/had for you'.
Best of luck;
CHEERS!

Q: So, I've been up at college for a little over two weeks now. All my classes are great and everything, but the people here are driving me nuts!!! I am generally an all around happy person and I love laughing and just having a good time. Whenever I try to be friendly with someone, I can't really get a response out of them. You know, they'll just kind of have one-word conversations with me or something like that.

At first, I didn't really notice how boring the people were up there, but when I came home for Labor day weekend to see my family and my boyfriend I realized something. Last night, my boyfriend and I were just driving around town, cracking jokes, and laughing hysterically about anything and everything. It occured to me that I hadn't laughed like that ONCE since I had been up at school.

That breaks my heart, because I know if I can't be happy up at school, my grades will slip. So what can I do do meet other fun people at college that can I actually joke around and laugh with once in awhile? I mean, college is stressful enough, so I can't understand why everyone is so serious, right?

People that are in the campus 24/7 aren't the people you want to be around to hve fun. Go to clubs, etc to meet people. From there you'll meet fun people who are pretty much interested in the same/mostly the same things as you. Also there are some people in the same school who'll be fun and go to these parties etc...you jus have to be at the social events!
gud luck!

Q: okay so i have very thick hair
and its really courase!
does anyone else have this problem?
i straighten it alot but whenever i do it, it makes it feel gross and it doesn't smell very good it smells burnt.
can anyone help me?!
to make my hair softer.
does anyone else have this problem?!

yeah i think you should change your shampoo and conditioner. Look for something that 'straightens and smoothes'. There's purple sunsilk that works if you want.Then you can use a blowdrying//straightening gel or mist. IT'll help. if that doesn't work talk to your hairdresser. Maybe she'll have a secret. You can also look for home remedies or recipes for softer hair!

Q: I am in need of a good acne on the spot treatment! Like you can actually put on the zit.
(links please)

i use clean and clear acne spot treatment...works pretty good!

Q: Can someone show me a picture of what a blackhead looks like??? I'm confused as to what it is...

(like a zit)

Pretty much a blackhead is a clogged pore. so you basically see a dot of black in your skin.Try google

Q: with my makeup, i wondering how i could do it differently. I have very large blue eyes with VERY long eye lashes. All i do now is put on a little bit of foundation to even things out, and no blush or anything because my cheeks are already VERY red then I put VERY little eyeliner on my top eye lid along with mascara on the top and bottom lashes, and then eye liner on the bottom of my eye lids.

i want to still look presentable, but i want to change things up, any ideas?

thank you!

try a diff color eyeliner and mascara. it makes things look different but in a way it's pretty much the same. also try using some lipgloss that are natural...but stand out(glossy,shiny,juicy).

These things pretty much help and you can also try skipping the mascara sometimes if you've got the long lashes!

Q:
to start off the year i had SO many friends.
i considered my self 'popular.' now it's the
end of the year & i have no friends. i dont
wanna spend the summer with noone to do stuff
with. all of my friends are friends with other
people and are always busy. theres 2 more weeks
of school & i wanna get most of my friends back.
i feel like giving up. random people are taking
my friends & buddying up with them. i ask them
to hang out but i always make plans too late.
should i sit with my semi-biffs at lunch? cuz
they have new friends but still talk to me..

i have so many ex- friends that have moved on but i need some friendss. help

yeah sit with the semi bffs at lunch! And also....partake in some activities you like and you'll get some new friends with the same interest. Just be really social and talk to everyone, even if u don't know or like them!

Q: so on my camera
kodak easyshare cd33
it says i can record video & sound
but when i record video
there's no sound.

anybody know why/ or have this camera?

yup...it doesn't play sound wen you play back however when you put it on the computer it works with sound!

Q: my armpits are rly sensitive. are there any alternatives beside shaving that wont irritate them

I don't think there is anything that is less sensitive than shaving...which is not sensitive at all. So...you should just find a good shaver with a good moisturising strip or something. Waxing hurts wayy to much and hair remover will burn it!

Q: Ok I this guy that I used to like wants me to go out with him but the reason I stopped was because he use to pick on me(big sign of love)Now I think I should go out with him but the school years almost up and he isn't going to be at the same middle school that we were in last year so what should I do if he decides to ask me I mean we talk on the phone now.But we have been friends for so long what if it doesn't work out and our friendship is ruined by this little feeling.What should I do?

Yeah...well i would go out with him but if he asks you to be his girlfriend explain to him your reasons. Tell him that you don't want to lose your friendship because of the end of your dating period. Go out with him and have fun...because just cause you go on a date doesn't mean you have to hook up with the guy. Maybe in the future...who knows?!

Q: Hey i'm in 8th grade and i'm graduate this month! I was wondering what are some things i could give my friends for graduation. Something that i could give them as a remembrance you know? Thanks!

The best gift you can give them, if ya'll are going different high schools, are a picture frame with a cute picture of all of you all. That's a great gift. However you can buy them all matching handbands..like friendship bands too. That's also an amazing gift because you will all have the same thing and they will remember you!

Yeah most likely claire's has...and if they don't you can buy like a special pattern and most likely you will get about 5-10 in the same style and color!

Q: Im having a party this friday and im inviteing my friends and i have a crush on one of them named anthony.Well he dated two of my friends one he used one and the other he went out for two weeks.I think me and him connect he makes me laugh he gives me stuff but i dont know if he likes me.Another thing IDK if he went out with my friends to get closer to me.

My advice to you is not to get too over excited because rejection will hurt 10times more!...just chill and be yourself when you see him friday. Dance with him too...you'll see if he likes you or not. Also be careful wit him because look at the examples with your friends and him. Talk to your friends and just ask them why they broke up and get all the details so you'll know about his 'type'!
